Westgate Resort & Casino' SuperBook now has the largest 4K video wall

High performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, Semtech Corporation, announced Thursday a new collaboration with global manufacturer of video and signal distribution technology for Pro Av and IT markets, ZeeVee, to work together at the Westgate Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. This alliance worked in collaborative distribution solution called SDVoE (Software Defined Video over Ethernet) AV signal. 

Powered by ZeeVee ZyPer4K encoders and decoders, Semtech’s BlueRiver AV technology integrates  into the video wall at the SuperBook, the two companies provide a high-quality, uncompressed 4K60 video, alongside native SDVoE connectivity, which reduces the cost and complexity of the AV system. 

The upgrade to the Westgate Resort & Casino SuperBook, home to the gaming industry’s largest 4K video wall (18.8 feet high and 260 feet wide), took five month from conception to completion. For its execution, the company called in its integration partners from NMR Events: Director of Systems Integration, Doug Whelan and Vice President of Sales, Mike Campbell. 

NMR was able to engineer 175 different multiviews, equaling a dozen multiviews per screen, that display a combination of images simultaneously. The SDVoE/AV-over-IP platform enabled this project to be accomplished with fewer devices, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars in multiview processing alone and taking up a significantly smaller footprint.

In an official press release, Vice President of Marketing and North American Sales at ZeeVee, Joe Chordas, spoke about this collaboration and said: “All parties agreed it would require a SDVoE/AV-over-IP infrastructure to take the facility’s video wall to the next level. Our ZyPer4K encoders and decoders, which rely on Semtech BlueRiver AV technology that is the foundation for all SDVoE components, provided advanced routing flexibility and multi-matrix switching for a wide array of content.”

Vice President of Marketing of Video Products for Semtech’s Signal Integrity Products Group, Don Shaver, commented: “This project is a great and high profile example of the power of ZeeVee’s ZyPer4K SDVoE solution and our BlueRiver AV processor technology in the gaming and entertainment markets. In addition to the high quality, uncompressed 4K60 video, the native SDVoE connectivity and wide component compatibility greatly reduces the cost and complexity of AV systems.”

Doug Whelan, director of Systems Integration at NMR, added: “Our client was extremely happy with the outcome of this project on several fronts. The video wall’s eye-popping dynamic content is helping Westgate to draw in bettors. In addition to the video quality, we appreciate the efficiency, flexibility and cost effectiveness of the ZeeVee, Semtech and SDVoE solution.”
